Polizeigewalt

Hier mal was zum Vorgehen der Polizei:
When it comes to a situation justifying drawing his or her gun and actually pulling the trigger, circumstances are limited, according to Kirk Burkhalter, a retired New York Police Department detective and New York Law School professor.Quelle: https://eu.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/08/27/questions-police-use-force-after-kenosha-shooting-answered/5645186002/
In the video of Blake being shot, Burkhalter said it was especially alarming to see Sheskey first grab Blake's shirt, and then immediately start shooting, a quick escalation in tactics, skipping over other means of subduing Blake.
"Grabbing someone by the shirt is a far lesser use of force," Burkhalter said. "You know, that's like going from zero to 60."
Thaddeus Johnson, a senior fellow for the Council on Criminal Justice and former police officer, agreed. He said in classes that he teaches at Georgia State University, he uses the example of a bank robbery, where the suspect shoots several tellers, a security guard and a police officer.
"It has to be an imminent threat to the community," he said.
Jon Loevy, Chicago-based civil rights lawyer, said he could not speak specifically about the Blake shooting, but in general he said he has seen departments do a better job training officers to ramp up force as needed.
"Before there was no continuum, police could use as much force as they wanted," he said.
There are circumstances where police can justifiably shoot a suspect in the back, Loevy said.
"There is no rule on where you can or can’t shoot someone," he said. "You can imagine it could be harder to reasonably feel in danger when the person is not facing you but there could be a situation like that."
Were there other steps that the officer could have taken to subdue Blake before shooting?
Johnson said under the force continuum, officers should start with verbal commands, empty-handed combat techniques, and then a progression of available tools, such as a baton or pepper spray. Officers did use a Taser on Blake, but it was "not successful," investigators said.
Even going through all of those steps doesn't mean that deadly use of force is justified.
"I think the problem that happens is when you've gone through that whole continuum. And the use of deadly force is not necessarily justifiable at that point," he said. "The person walking away and being non-compliant didn't give the officer a reason to shoot them in the back."
Burkhalter said that while it might be easy to view the escalation of the situation as too fast from the video, it's impossible to know what went into Sheskey's split-second decision. But there are steps that could have been taken first.
